Fix It For Me, Please

Take my Heart Wring it until it bleeds Send it to the "How To Live With People School" And bring it back to me Here is my Ego I'll give it to you for repair Stroke it and make it well I'll take it back when you are done I'm giving to you my Misplaced Smile Teach it how to spread good cheer and laugh again To be a jolly good fellow Back on my face it goes with glee Here, right here is my Rogue Persona Clean it up, comb its hair Work miracles with the scoundrel in me Replace it and I thank you Please try to do something with Cynical Self Give it a good talking to Make it understand the good in man Of course I'll reclaim it when you're done I gladly give to you my Paranoia If only until you can talk some sense into it He may be incorrigible After you've done your best return him to me I know I ask of you a lot Just try to give it your best shot The parts you take from me are mine, Please separate pearls from the swine

Hi, jerry, you asked if I ever tried double acrostic and I think I did it at least once. But it's been a long while and I would have to look through all my acrostics to figure out which one it was. Yes, they are a lot harder! Now let me read your poem.

Beautiful and meaningful write. Very creatively worded. Wouldn't it be wonderful if someone were able to do all that? If someone cared enough to do all that? Thank you for your visit to my poem today. I'm afraid you may have misunderstood the content. I have posted a comment to your post. Please take the time to read it. Thank you.

Thank you very much, Eileen. Yes, it would be wonderful if we could turn to someone and tell them to fix all that is wrong with us. I guess I did misunderstand your content on your poem. I had my mind directed else where. I admit it, I was thinking sex!
